show track doesn't show collision point between particle and strong beam slice in beambeam element #1090

Open RevanEoot opened 1 month ago

The "show track" command does not show the collision point between the tracked particle and the slice of the strong beam. Instead, it just shows the phase space coordinates of the particle as unchanged (see attached image). It would also be helpful if show track could display the longitudinal velocity of the particle.

Delay due to Bmad Workshop. I will get to this soon.

@RevanEoot To see the the track through the beambeam element use the -element option (see the Tao manual for details). I will work on adding the longitudinal velocity.
